I Took a Journey

Last night I took a journey,

To a land far across the seas;

I didn't go by boat or plan,

I traveled on my knees.

 

I saw so many people there,

In deepest depths of sin,

And Jesus told me I should go,

That there were souls to win.

 

But I said, "Jesus, I can't go,

And work with such as these."

He answered quickly, "Yes you can,

By traveling on your knees."

 

He said, "You pray, I'll meet the need,

You call, and I will hear,

Be concerned about lost souls

Of those both far and near."

 

And so I tried it, I knelt in prayer,

Gave up some hours of ease;

I felt the Lord right by my side,

While traveling on my knees.

 

As I prayed on, and saw souls saved,

And twisted bodies healed,

And saw God's workers strength renewed,

While laboring in the field.

 

I said, "Yes Lord, I have a job,

My desire Thy will to please,

I can go and heed Thy call,

While traveling on my knees."
